December 27, 201014 yr comment_105733 woah theres red paint on the wall I never noticed that thats one of the problems I have with the maze you dont get enough time to linger to look around and explore the detail thorpe have tried to create :/Yes there is, as you go up the path from the bathroom, and turn left, right in front of you on the wall is the words 'LOOK CLOSER DETECTIVE MATTHEWS!'. I only just noticed it when I was in there, because I was at the front, and I decided to go a bit slow, and see if anything would scare me, which I have to say, nothing did. But yes there is paint on the wall

December 27, 201014 yr comment_105736 Its on a mirror isnt it?As far as I can remember, yes. Because its supposed to remind us of the 'Venus Flytrap' scene from SAW II, unfortunatly, I think it would have been better on the roof, and a sensor would trigger, setting a light off so we get a quick glimpse of it, and we hear the sound fx's of the trap going off.Also thorpe, get rid of that bloody rock music, it aint needed!

December 27, 201014 yr comment_105744 I wouldnt of had a clue that, that scene was supposed to be from SAW 2, and if you did have any actors in there,The thing with that particular scene is that it was meant to have real electric shocks in there. If that had have been the case, there would be no need for actors in there, as the effects would have done that scaring. That's why you rarely get actors in there. It's not really designed to have an actor in it, making it much harder for them to act there. It is a shame really.The thing with Saw Alive in general is that they're always going to be in two minds. Should they keep it true to the films and leaving little scares, but create a wonderful atmosphere or should they break the roles and just try to create a BOO scare? The traps were chosen carefully in conjunction with Lionsgate, so that it could be true enough to the films, but also create a scare. Yes, some of the traps could be better, but we've got what we've got. Whatever is chosen, they'll make some people unhappy and it will have it's flaws. Case of damned whatever they do with it.
December 27, 201014 yr comment_105747 Yes, whatever did happen to the electric shock effects in Saw Alive? I seem to remember an official note from Thorpe Park about electric shocks, so it was not just false rumour or something like that. It seems as if it really was planned at one point.I also remember on that preview day there were reports of people using items of clothing wrapped around their hands to avoid getting shocked. I never heard anybody from that preview actually say they got shocked though.Then, when the attraction opened to the public, all of the stuff about electric shocks just disappeared. I remember there was some loud vibration in that scene, but no shocks. I heard that the shocks had been disabled for health and safety reasons, but it must be more than that because they were obviously made to be perfectly safe. Is there any news on exactly why this happened, or if there ever were shocks at all?Just wondering.
December 27, 201014 yr comment_105748 As far as I'm aware, the electric shock was just a no no by Health and Safety, for whatever reason. The shock was just a little pop, yes, and was perfectly safe, but H&S usually have some silly reason or another. I think it had only been used for celebrity events and the family and friends day. The electric shock stuff was mentioned in the Press Release online and on a notice to the celebrities at the celebrity event. However, there are still signs in the Saw II scene of 'Danger Electric Shock' or something, that were intended to warn people of it. That, coupled with the loud vibrations from the gate really do make people believe it is electrically live. Not a bad effect I guess, though probably does leave people a bit disappointed.
December 27, 201014 yr comment_105757 Is there actually a gate in the Electricution part, because at Fright Night I was first and I didnt have to push anything but the first time I went on it something hit me.
December 27, 201014 yr comment_105759 Yeah there is a gate that gently springs shut by its self. That frightened the life out of me the first time I went in there! Most terrifying thing of the entire damn maze!
December 28, 201014 yr comment_105768 But how come I didnt have to push it when I was at the front.You might not have noticed it, its about waist height and you can push it by just walking into it
December 28, 201014 yr comment_105773 tbqh I wouldnt want to be electricuted in that room I dunno why it just doesnt sound right :/ epople with pacemakers etc
December 28, 201014 yr comment_105774 Are you sure that was not just marketing?Pretty sure it was working on the family and friends preview day and on celebrity events, but could well have been.But how come I didnt have to push it when I was at the front.Sometimes it doesn't close fully, just like any ordinary gate.tbqh I wouldnt want to be electricuted in that room I dunno why it just doesnt sound right :/ epople with pacemakers etc People with pacemakers / heart conditions would be (I think they actually are on the entrance sign?) warned that the maze is not suitable for them and they should not enter. And it would hardly have been an electrocution, more a little pop - like you get from the novelty shock pens..
December 28, 201014 yr comment_105776 The whole idea of an electric shock on a maze is quite frankly daft and would have earned thorpe a silly amount of complaints, regardless of what was put on signs.
December 28, 201014 yr Author comment_105781 Pretty sure it was working on the family and friends preview day and on celebrity events, but could well have been.It wasnt working / turned on on the friends and family day.
December 29, 201014 yr comment_105812 hmmm, is Thorpe just trying to advertise by saying you get an electric shock?
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105868 hmmm, is Thorpe just trying to advertise by saying you get an electric shock?No, you really did used to get an electric shock. This was disabled shortly after over H&S Concerns.
December 30, 201014 yr comment_105882 They should really have seen it coming though, I mean giving someone an electric shock at a themepark. :s
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106027 No, you really did used to get an electric shock. This was disabled shortly after over H&S Concerns.I'm 100% sure it was only used once, on the celeb day... Maybe..
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106028 I'm 100% sure it was only used once, on the celeb day... Maybe..From what I've heard it didnt work then. A lot of articles I've read have all said they never felt the electricity in the room, they just heard the effects and felt the floor move, that is all. A real shame, that thorpe came up with that idea, but it didnt come to pass
January 3, 201114 yr comment_106092 I didnt think the floor shook | thought it just banged?yh, it moves, it works on the same principle as the glass elevator section in catcf at alton towers. I shakes from side to side, making you feel as if the electricity is running through your body, making you shake
